'SNL': Chappelle and Rock just pulled off the realest election night sketch

After the electoral college answered the call to "Make America Great Again," the country was hard pressed to find anyone willing or able to make America laugh again. Comedian Dave Chappelle hosted SNL to do just that.

Donald Trump’s election victory may have shocked much of Hollywood, but Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock? Not so much.

The stars, whose comedic talents are exceeded only by their sharp insight, joined Saturday Night Live cast members for a sketch set at an election night watch party. In the scene, Chappelle cautions Clinton supporters against celebrating prematurely.

At first, his cynicism just doesn’t add up to the group. But as ballots are tallied and states began to report electoral votes, the group begins to acknowledge the clear division. "Oh my God, I think America is racist,” gasps Cecily Strong.

While the election’s outcome ultimately deflated the majority of the partygoers, Chappelle and Rock remained unaffected. "Don't worry, eight years are gonna fly by,” Chappelle offered. "Get some rest," added Rock. "You got a big day of moping and writing on Facebook tomorrow."
